1938

Synopsis:
Lee Sheridan, son of small town newspaper publisher Dan Sheridan and a Midwestern college track star, is persuaded by the dean to leave the Midwest and go to Oxford.  Thinking he can show off and astonish the British athletes, he becomes the butt of his jokes in the dorm.  He responds by retaliating against another member of the track team.  The British students find Lee and take off his pants in public in order to get back at him.  He becomes interested in Mary Beaumont, the sister of his biggest enemy, Paul Beaumont.  As Lee learns to accept Oxford’s ways, he becomes more popular.  At one point he takes the blame for an action of Paul’s and faces being expelled from school.  Luckily, Lee is cleared of any wrongdoing and arrives in time to take the Oxford rowing team, pitted against Cambridge, to victory, while Elsa Craddock, who has an eye for the handsome Oxford lads, cheers from the sidelines.
